Love ED too! Derek was fabulous in supporting our upstate NY Old Sage Apothecarians formulators conference this July. I also love their soap molds. Thx for so many recipes!
I gave it a shot Ellen!! I didnt have enough almond oil so i used grapeseed oil instead, the rest of the ingredients I already have! even the mold, tins and craft paper coffe filters!! cant wait to pop them out of the molds! Thats the best part! Soooo satisfying!!! Thanks again for ur awesome videos!!!
This is a great recipe! I infuse my jojoba oil with calendula flowers which I grow myself for that extra healing element, I love the addition of the oats, have some to use up ;)
The coffee filter is such a great idea. Totally using this! I love your channel Ellen Ruth ❤️ I feel so at ease and relaxed watching all your videos. You're a blessing!
❤ love your videos Ellen. I’m in Canada 🇨🇦. You have given me motivation to start my own little business, mostly for bartering in the near future when the Digital Currency starts which seems to be coming quickly. I am a retired floral designer not by choice but by health reasons and I couldn’t find anything that would be suitable for me until I found your channel. I love your videos. Most professional and your the sweetest person I’ve seen on this platform. God bless you ❤🙏🏼✝️🇺🇸
You are one of the soap makers who has giving spirit soul.Each of your instructions has a great impact on our small biz.Thanks to you and Alabama lady and Kati Royal Soap
You've inspired me to make lotion bars! I've wanted to for a while now...but I had no idea it could be this simple! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and knowledge!
I made these a couple weeks ago and have been meaning to come back and comment! The bars came out so well. I used Shea butter, beeswax, coconut oil, olive oil and arrowroot powder. For fragrance I used an essential oil blend called Gentle Baby (Young Living). I found silicone molds on Amazon that have beautiful filigree designs. The bars are pretty much perfect but I would love to tweak the recipe to make the bar slightly creamier. There is a very slight drag on the skin when applying the bar. Possibly I used too much arrowroot powder for the types of butter and oils I used. I have been rubbing the bar between the palms of my hands to slightly melt the lotion, and then applying to tops of hands, arms etc. Many thanks for your tutorial !
Ruth Ellen, nice recipe for lotion bars. I tried adding the arrow root powder, colloidal oats and even tapioca starch and rose hip powder, I liked them all. In different combinations too for different benefits. I like how it leaves a silk finish on the skin. Thank you for the inspiration. Be gone dry skin. The colloidal oat formula works great on facial sunburn or wind burn as well. Jill Gross
I just tried this! I did Shea butter, coconut oil, meadowfoam seed oil, beeswax, colloidal oats, arrowroot powder, honey, and patchouli & lavandin essential oils.
I'll let you know how it turns out. I also added a few blue cornflower pedals. Just for fun, but not so many that they would rub and break on your skin.
I just want to thank you for sharing this recipe. I have been making soaps for 6 years and have tried multiple times to add lotion bars to my product line. Every recipe I have tried has been greasy (no matter how much arrowroot I would add). I thought I would give yours a try and it is fabulous. Thanks so very much for sharing!!
Wow so love watching you do your thing from here in Barbados ! Thank you for sharing your recipe! You seem really nice . God bless you ! I just started my cosmetic business but we are in a Covid lock down here so I have some challenges but i am hopeful
Thank you! You have such great videos. I wish everyone would share their recipes like you do. This world is very large & I don't think many of us would run into one another. Thank you again. Phx. AZ
I can't wait to try my hand in lotion bars now. So excited, and you make it look so simple and easy. My luck I'll mess it up, lol! But you will never get good at something if you never try to do it. Thank you for sharing with us all!!!
You can use your chopstick to pour into your mold with no worry about drips. Also I use a jewelry scale to weigh out my fragrance. I put the fo/eo container on the scale, tare it out and use a pipette to remove the amount needed for the recipe. Ardent follower, thank you!
Thanks for this simple recipe. Colloidal oats are extremely finely milled, not gritty, and very soothing to skin, especially if it’s irritated for any reason.
Thank you, Ellen! This is a great tutorial and I appreciate your in depth teaching. I just made this recipe and used the same bee molds but it only made 9 & 1/2 bars. I have a digital scale and measured everything exact. The only difference is I did not add a fragrance oil. Not sure why mine came out less 🤷♀️.
I absolutely love your videos, Ellen. You and Elly are such a refreshing joy to the day. You make every recipe look effortless and the end results are beautiful!
I've tried your last recipe and I have to say - I love it!! I didn't have any dry ingredients there, but even without them the solid lotion is really good! It has brought me well through the year as a hand cream, because of the extreme amount of hand washing due to Covid-19, as a substitute for lip balm in winter - just for everything. Thanks for sharing your recipe 😍.
I will try this recipe with Rice Bran Oil and Sunflower Oil. Will work out the percentages and cut it in half. Have some multi cavity molds that are small to try it out. They look so cute! ♥️🤍🖤🇹🇹
I’m new to your channel and I just made these bars. I don’t know why but I got 11 bars and not 12, and I didn’t fill them to the rim. I ordered the same molds and tins and scale from Amazon so there is no difference in sizes, just a fluke I guess. But I’m very excited about these bars. I’m looking forward to what you have coming and I’m still looking through your videos you have posted.
I've started using Sericite Mica when I want to get rid of a greasy feel, it also gives that nice slip to lipsticks and is a great setting powder. Your lotion bars look wonderful and I bet they smell fantastic. You are a fantastic teacher and I look forward to your videos.
Hi Ellen. Your lotion are so beautiful and I love how you packaged them. I have been making your cream pot style lotion since the 1st time I watched that video and have given it to family because it has so many nourishing elements. Look forward to making this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing! 💖
Ellen I have same mold for my lotion bars and I use a waxed cupcake liner from Walmart , I wish I can share the link but I am also computer challenge, if you go into the bakery section you will find them and they fit perfectly for the 2 oz tins
@@EllenRuthSoap my pleasure , was trying to send a picture but you will find them and guess what ? They are craft paper color so perfect with your theme
Ooooo ive been thinkin of doing these but idk..i have these Gorgeous flower silicone molds that would look lovely as a solid lotion bar..hmmmm..THANKS Ellen Ruth you beautiful scientist you!✨🌟
I made these for the first time and I found that the ingredients gets hard before I get it poured now maybe I need to be quicker but I notice that your pour is a lot more liquid. I wonder what Im doing wrong? I love your ideas you are clear and relaxed, and that makes me relaxed.
You made them all look so yummy. Like you I LOVE using hem oil. These look so easy to use and they look like they would definitely stand up yo pursehood. ☺ Cheers and Blessings 💕👍
Ellen, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I made these lotion bars and they are the best! I used it on dry areas and the next day, I still felt the moisture softness where I had used the bar. This is better than any lotion or salve I have tried before. I also bought the adorable bee mold, but am thinking that I may like a 2oz bar instead. Wish they made the same mold larger. Thank you again!
Thank you for sharing this recipe with everyone and explaining as u go not many do especially with such a great recipe can't wait to try this right after I finish ur video ❤💜💙
Thank you Ellen one more time for your wonderful tutorial, and always doing it with a smile!!💕💝. I will give it a try for certain. And by the way your packaging is very practical and cute!! Love from Florida.
I have just ordered two of your lotion bars, I have been watching you on UA-cam for a couple of years now and I am so excited to finally place an order. Thank you!!!
Ellen, I love your Channel and you are so down to earth it makes me feel like I have known you forever. ( I wish) I have tried to make your recipe and several others and my lotion bars always seem to be too greasy. I live in Colorado and it is dry here and yet they are still too greasy. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance. Please keep doing your videos, you are awesome.
Thanks for watching! These bars are going to have a buttery/oily feel due to the ingredients, but you could try increasing the arrowroot powder and see if you like that finish.
J’ai adoré, comme tout ce que vous faites , je vais essayer votre recette j’aimerais savoir, une fois la lotion faite quel est sa validité ? 6 mois ? Merci beaucoup pour tous ces bons moments que vous partagez avec nous😘
I love your videos. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful recipes that you make. I wonder if we can replace the coconut oil because in my entourage, I know a person who has coconut allergy. I wish I could make this lotion bar without coconut oil.
Thank you for this great information! I can't wait to try your recipe. I ordered the bee molds (of course! I'm a beekeeper!). They are so cute! I also ordered some of the other things in your links--very helpful! I was looking for a good vid for making lotion bars and looked at a lot of them--yours was the best. Thanks again!
I did my first Ellen Ruth Soap make today using these solid lotion bars 😅. I have watched a ton of your videos and decided to start with this. I added a bit of silk (which I couldn’t get to dissolve) so I scooped it out. I added a bit of skin safe bronze mica powder, that was a win…. But I ruined them by adding a shampure like fragrance 😢. I either added too much or it didn’t pair well with cocoa butter. It was scrumptious to begin with. I’m so sad!
Hi Ellen! I use that exact Beeswax 🐝 as of 2 months ago and I love it. Cutting into that big chunk of Beeswax would be challenging because it does get rock hard.
Tip : You have massive Block of Bees Wax from a Friend, a Beekeeper etc... But you only need a Tad !?! No time to melt the whole darn thing !?! 😜 Get yourself a Deep Roasting Pan (maybe a defunct : non stick peeling off one, not fit for perfect cooking purposes) Add it to a Warm Oven that's finished doing a Big Roast, Bake, Cooking etc... We want that Hot Oven temps in that Metal and Shelving ! (Turned Off !) .... But its still warm enough to melt Wax. Add that, and a Food Foil Container on it. Add your Block of Bees Wax in that Foil Container (Strong Reusable kind)... And allow a % of Melt, so you get a bit of Melt, say an Ounce or too. Or say 1/4 Inch Thick Piece. More time in Oven as it cools down, equals more Melt = More Wax ! More gets melted ! 👀 Once done. The cooled down Wax will be Brittle. Twist that Foil Container ... and you get Shards or Flakes of Wax ! Enough for a Hand Bar Recipe. Save Tray and Container, and the Block of Wax for the next used oven moment ! Simples. 😎 Here in Scotland to save on Waste Plastic, our Food Stores offer up "Mesh Draw String" Veggie Bags... to buy eg loose Carrots, Potatoes etc in. (Very Fine White Mesh Fabric, like Screen Mesh ) Each Baggie costs 30p (50C) they last for ages and ages, if you don't Heat (Melt material !) You hand wash them in Laundry Soda with a bit of Bleach. Keep labelled for eg Honey Strainer, for Wax only. You get the idea. 🤗 They are 'fairly' heat resistant, in that you can pour "Warmed Honey" through them (this filters out wax particles, dust, even odd Bee legs .🤭 When we harvest our Honey.) The same applies to our x3 Filtering of Wax process.(to super Pure Smoothness !) Eg Competition Grade for local Honey Show. We do process x3 times. Adding Kitchen Paper into last Bag / Pour ! .... Or use Ladies Tights, (Pantie Hose in USA ?) Same filter effect and result. These Baggies work great to filter Warmed Wax as well.✔️ Place the Bag semi-streched across your Jug, pour the Warmed Wax (not super hot !) through it. Remove the Bag. [Any Cold Wax debris, can be hand Squeezed, makes brittle pieces, turn bag inside out... And collect the bits. These can be wrapped in newsprint paper, make a twist... And use as firelighters ! 🔥.... Or use wax where debris particles are not an issue. Eg in DIY Wax Melts : re Shoes, Wood Polish, to Stop, prevent Squeaky Wood Doors, Draws just rub a flake on it, gone ! Or if your a Beekeeper, get your Smoker really Smokin ! That paper and Wax really lights up good ! No Stings on my watch ! However my Girls rarely Sting me, bar the odd one ! OUCH...q 😆
Hi Ellen, This was such a great video - thank you!! I tried to do solid lotion bars this week, I didn't use your recipe, but it is very similar. For some reason my arrow root didn't mix well. I even stick blended it at one point. It sank to the bottom and became very grainy. (insert sad face here) xxx
Hi Ellen! My daughters and I recently came across your channel and we're just loving your videos 🤗 Thank you, for your pleasantness and beautiful presentations! They're amazing!! And thanks so much, for always sharing your recipes 🤗 I'm definitely going to be trying these lotion bars out! Stay blessed!🙏🏽🌻

You get the idea. 🤗 They are 'fairly' heat resistant, in that you can pour "Warmed Honey" through them (this filters out wax particles, dust, even odd Bee legs .🤭 When we harvest our Honey.) The same applies to our x3 Filtering of Wax process.(to super Pure Smoothness !) Eg Competition Grade for local Honey Show. We do process x3 times. Adding Kitchen Paper into last Bag / Pour !
.... Or use Ladies Tights, (Pantie Hose in USA ?)
Same filter effect and result.
These Baggies work great to filter Warmed Wax as well.✔️
Place the Bag semi-streched across your Jug, pour the Warmed Wax (not super hot !)
through it. Remove the Bag.
[Any Cold Wax debris, can be hand Squeezed, makes brittle pieces, turn bag inside out... And collect the bits. These can be wrapped in newsprint paper, make a twist... And use as firelighters ! 🔥.... Or use wax where debris particles are not an issue. Eg in DIY Wax Melts : re Shoes, Wood Polish, to Stop, prevent Squeaky Wood Doors, Draws just rub a flake on it, gone !
Or if your a Beekeeper, get your Smoker really Smokin ! That paper and Wax really lights up good ! No Stings on my watch ! However my Girls rarely Sting me, bar the odd one ! OUCH...q 😆
Still using your other recipe of these, but will try this one also as I see a couple different ingredient changes, nice. Many thanks beautiful Lady 😘
🥰 enjoy💕
Hi Ellen, This was such a great video - thank you!! I tried to do solid lotion bars this week, I didn't use your recipe, but it is very similar. For some reason my arrow root didn't mix well. I even stick blended it at one point. It sank to the bottom and became very grainy. (insert sad face here) xxx
It helps if you mix it in during the cool down, it will suspend better. Also, make sure it’s a super fine powder.
